Jones Bridge Road Widening (Waters Road to State Bridge Road)
Latest update (Aug. 2, 2024)
Crews have shifted traffic lanes along Jones Bridge Road as part of the road widening project from Waters Road to State Bridge Road. Motorists can expect intermittent lane closures from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday – Friday, weather permitting. Please use caution in the area.
The driveways into and out of Dolvin Elementary School have been paved and are ready for the start of the school year. In the next few weeks, crews will install concrete barriers along the roadway to prepare for the installation of underground stormwater facilities.
The road widening project will provide a three-lane roadway with deceleration lanes into neighborhoods and improved egress from neighborhoods where appropriate. It also will provide longer carpool queuing lines and school bus lines at Dolvin Elementary which will remove more of the school traffic from the main travel lanes thus decreasing congestion.
The project, expected to be completed in summer 2025, addresses pedestrian safety and access with a sidewalk on one side of the road and a wider trail on the other side of the road.
